I'll answer my own question: No, it isn't possible without patching.

Looks like a simple global var set by perlscan_scanner() and
a check for that var in the IF statement before
email_quarantine_report() would get the job done though.

I'll have to try that out during my next round of mail server
upgrades in a few months.

I'm interested in hearing what others think about this idea.
